Park
Parents and children, it’s time to relive the F1
race. Rev your engines and duke it out for the
chance to spray champagne (or fruit juice if
you’re under-aged) on the podium!
Okay, we kid. There are no liquids available to
be sprayed or a podium but you can still race
with your children at the Changi Karting Circuit,
an international-sized track located right on the
eastern edge of Singapore.
Put the pedal to the metal and speed your way
around the track on fun karts that go as fast
as 60 km/h. And don’t fret, safety is topmost at
Changi Karting Circuit. Helmets are provided and
cushioned corners make sure you and your child
are protected. Eagle-eyed safety

Forest Adventure
There are no leopard printed loincloths here but you’ll still
be screaming your head off while swinging in between the
trees a la Tarzan! Forest Adventure is a tree top course
that will see you and your kid traversing swinging logs,
rocking on a trapeze and flying safely over the waters of
Bedok Reservoir.
There are 34 obstacles and four giant zip lines to tackle in
the Grand Course, some of which are more than 5 m above
the ground!

There’s also a downsized version for
kids shorter than 1.45 m, which offers
16 crossings and an awesome zip-line.
The Kids Course has an on-going safety
line that can only be detached once the
child completes the course, so parents
can put their mind at ease.
Want to have a taste of climbing? Climb
Asia also offers sessions lasting an hour
where you and your children can discover
the sport alongside an instructor in a
controlled environment.
Climb Asia is at 60 Tessensohn Road,
Singapore 217664. Clamber up to www.
climb-asia.com to discover what awaits
you at the top.
